I have held a broad range of roles across international organizations, including Project Assistant, Application Engineer, Business Analyst, IT Manager, Senior IT Manager, Group IT Director, and CIO. These organizations operated at scale, with annual revenues ranging from €500 million to €2 billion. My academic background in Banking & Finance and Information and Communication Technology, combined with a six‑month leadership program and hands‑on experience in an international, corporate‑level merger, has enabled me to build deep expertise in managing and leading IT organizations across multiple countries and maturity levels. As Global IT Director at LM Wind Power, I developed strong capabilities in Six Sigma and Lean principles, applying them to improve efficiency, quality, and operational performance. During my tenure at Paradores, I gained valuable insight into the hospitality sector, further broadening my industry experience and strengthening my ability to adapt IT strategy to diverse business models.
